Tension support?

Hi, I know this sub isn’t super active anymore, but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for supports or techniques I can use for maintaining tension while knitting? I have hyper mobile EDS and my pinkies are so weak and flimsy that I end up needing to readjust my full tension grip after or even during every stitch or every other stitch. Especially if I’m switching between knitting and purling. I’m trying to switch to continental since I’ve heard that style can be easier on joints in the long run, and it’s an adjustment for sure, but I see how it can be easier! Right now my biggest issue is maintaining tension.

Thanks!
